How to provide the Dropbox-API-Select-User HTTP header with python API
Hi ! I've generated access token for Business App, and tried to make simple request
dbx = dropbox.Dropbox(my_token) dbx.files_list_folder(path).entries
But I got
dropbox.exceptions.BadInput...

Dropbox StaffIn the Dropbox Python SDK, you can specify this header using DropboxTeam.as_user.
You can get the team member IDs from a number of places, such as DropboxTeam.team_members_get_info, or DropboxTeam.team_members_list/DropboxTeam.team_members_list_continue.
Thanks for your reply. Everything works fine, but now I have another issue. All I need to list, write ... in TEAM shared folder, but when I use
self.dbx.files_list_folder(self.path).entries
I got ['Get Started with Dropbox Paper.url', 'Get Started with Dropbox.pdf'], which is my private folder content. So is there any way to access shared folder ?

By default, API calls will operate in the private team member folder. It sounds like you want to access the team space though. To do so, you need to set the "path root" for the API call to be the team space.
I recommend reading the Namespace Guide, which covers this in detail.
In the Python SDK in particular, to specify a particular root, you should use with_path_root. For example:
dbx.with_path_root(dropbox.common.PathRoot.root("XXXXXXXXX")).files_list_folder("")or:
dbx.with_path_root(dropbox.common.PathRoot.namespace_id("XXXXXXXXX")).files_list_folder("")I got :: > dropbox.exceptions.PathRootError: PathRootError('2f7ac7e2ce9abb921272552f987f63b3', PathRootError('no_permission', None)),
when try to run this command, so for permission do I need to make business app?
self.dbx.with_path_root(dropbox.common.PathRoot.namespace_id("2")).files_list_folder("")
